Of COURSE it is only for JDM market, par for Subaru's course.

Damn. If I had the money, though, I would import the parts, and turn my Legacy into a Tuned By STI, or S402.

The 08 STI under the skin is FANTASTIC. it is just that the skin is so damn ugly.

In the Legacy's sexier 4-door form, (not the WRX 4-door abomination) the STI's drivetrain would be FAN-FREAKIN'-TASTIC.

S4, M3-4, G35-Sport or G35x (since you can't get both), or Lexus IS-F... NAH.

Legacy S402, HELLS YEAH, and then a motorcycle to boot, for the price difference under some of those other cars.

Brembos, BBS forged wheels on 5x114.3 hubs, Bilsteins/pink STI springs, STI bracing and anti-roll bars, SI-Drive, 6MT with DCCD, and 305 factory horsepower, just begging for STI stage 2 treatment...

The only thing better would be a turbocharged H6 under the hood. Perrin and Cobb have built a few prototypes, and get WELL north of 400hp and torque out of those.

Evo - not my cup of tea.
STI Spec C - nice for what it is, but not practical, on purpose.

Legacy S402... almost enough to make me go into debt for it. DAMN.]]>Apr 30th 2008 2:01PM
